"Let's go, we'll talk in the hall!"
Before the harbor, Kaozaki Mitsuhiro pondered briefly before making a decision. In the Capital City, those who can be addressed as "The Exalted" are only the Emperor and the Shogun. And it must be a "great matter" that urges Mori no Kiyoshi to rush over, it must be... the Shogun! It's only been a short while, and trouble has arisen for the Shogun once again!...
Kaozaki Mitsuhiro felt heavy-hearted, pulling Mori no Kiyoshi along, hurrying to the horses. He extended his hand, pointing to the pony led by Sukezaburou, with an apologetic smile.
"House owner Mori no Kiyoshi, please ride this horse and hurry to the hall with me..."
The elderly merchant Mori no Kiyoshi observed the pony before him, with a shoulder height of only about one meter twenty-three; it was of the common Nanbu horse appearance, likely from the main island's Dewa Province. This was a typical native horse, not tall, and not heavy.
